LISBON: Portugal scored twice in five minutes to beat the Czech Republic on Thursday and open up a two-point lead at the top of Group A2 in the Nations League. Joao Cancelo and Goncalo Guedes were on target in the 33rd and 38th minutes in Lisbon as Portugal continued their strong start in the competition with a comfortable 2-0 win. Victory means they sit two points clear of Spain, having won two and drawn one of their opening three games. “We played a great game,” said Guedes. Ronaldo almost added a third for Portugal but his first effort of the game was saved by Stanek.
